Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a natural element that is prevalent within everyone. It is not only known to
lubricate joints and bones, but most popularly known to help plump and moisturize the epidermis.
Unfortunately, our hyaluronic acid production starts to decrease as early as the age of twenty years old!
Our bodies produce an enzyme called hyaluronidase (also used to dissolve a hyaluronic acid lip filler)
which eats up the hyaluronic acid and leaves us appearing with aged skin if not addressed. How can we
prevent this?
Hyaluronic acid can hold up to 1000x its weight in water, in saying this, using a topical HA daily is
significant to maintaining supple, hydrated skin. Similar to a magnet, when using it on the surface of the
skin, it will attract the water from the environment you are in. So whether you are located in a very dry
area or humid, a HA serum is important because it will draw those water molecules to your skin almost
instantaneously. Gradually, on the other hand, hyaluronic acid will help quench dry or dehydrated skin,
fill in fine lines, help plump up the skin and can even help improve texture.
Can I Layer products with Hyaluronic Acid?
Typically hyaluronic acid is recommended to be used during the day to help protect the skin barrier from
the environment. It can also be used at night to help keep the skin hydrated as it repairs itself. Unlike
products such as a retinol or glycolic acid, which are limited to what they can be layered with, hyaluronic
acid can be layered with most other skincare products because it has a neutral pH level!
